Feature request: Allow users to select multiple protocols for a rule.

Open iPyGuy opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

If you create a rule, you can only select 1 protocol using the dropdown menu. There are multiple times though when I would like to specify more than 1 protocol, such as tcp and udp.

Unfortunately, you can't do this with the current version. The only workaround for now is creating duplicate rules, each containing a different protocol. The internal rules provides a good example. Simplewall ships with an internal rule named "HTTP" but it only applies to tcp. So I had to create a duplicate rule called "HTTP (udp)" containing all the same settings, except for the protocol being set to udp instead.

As you can imagine, this gets tedious when you start creating a bunch of custom rules for different apps on your system. It would be much better if we could select multiple protocols using checkboxes when creating a rule.
